Predicting flexural strength of hybrid FRP-steel reinforced beams using symbolic regression and ML techniques
Abstract Hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) and steel reinforced concrete (hybrid FRP-steel RC) beams have gained recognition for their exceptional flexural performance, surpassing that o...
Chronic liver injury scores are superior prognostic indicators of outcomes in severe alcohol-related burns
Abstract Acute and chronic alcohol abuse are common among burn patients and may be associated with chronic liver injury, a potential factor influencing outcomes. This study evaluates the pre...
Potential molluscicidal and antimicrobial activities of rare earth elements against the land snail Theba pisana and certain microorganisms
Abstract A novel application of light rare earth elements (LREEs) was explored for their biological activity as potential eco-friendly molluscicides and antimicrobials on Theba pisana (Mülle...
Investigation of erythema migrans patients identifies Borrelia species and Neoehrlichia mikurensis with implications for clinical assessment
Abstract Emerging tick-borne infections pose public health challenges and may complicate treatment decisions. The EMBio study, a multicenter observational study, aims to describe erythema mi...
Association of height, BMI, and smoking status with prostate cancer risk before and after the introduction of PSA testing in Sweden
Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) incidence has steadily increased in Sweden, more steeply in the mid-1990s caused by increased opportunistic prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing. Tallness,...
